This works proposes a novel approach to develop higher-order finite elements by taking progressive damage into account in the formulation. The is based on Carrera’s unified formulation (CUF) while model continuum mechanics (CDM) principles, which implemented as UEL (User Element subroutine) written FORTRAN and linked Abaqus. assessed simulating plate under distributed sinusoidal loads. Besides,...

Binary classification is the problem of predicting the class a given sample belongs to. To achieve a good prediction performance, it is important to find a suitable model for a given dataset. However, it is often time consuming and impractical for practitioners to try various classification models because each model employs a different formulation and algorithm. The difficulty can be mitigated ...

This paper presents a static analysis of laminated composite doubly-curved shells using refined kinematic models with polynomial and non-polynomial functions recently introduced in the literature. To be specific, Maclaurin, trigonometric, exponential and zig-zag functions are employed. The employed refined models are based on the equivalent single layer theories. A simply supported shell is sub...

In this paper we study parametric trace finite element (TraceFEM) and surface (SFEM) discretizations of a Stokes problem. These methods are applied both to the problem in velocity-pressure formulation stream function formulation. A class higher order is presented unified framework. Numerical efficiency aspects two formulations discussed systematic comparison TraceFEM SFEM given. benchmark intro...
